Question
Answer
show A simple substance that does not contain a carbon backbone.  
🗑
show The abbreviation for an element; usually the first letter (or the first and second letter) of the English or Latin name.  
🗑
atomic nucleus   show
🗑
atomic mass(number)   show
🗑
electron orbital   show
🗑
show The smallest particle of a covalently bonded element or compound; two or more atoms joined by covalent bonds.  
🗑
show Substance that participates in a chemical reaction.  
🗑
show The energy required to break a particular chemical bond.  
🗑
show When two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms rather than just one pair.  
🗑
polar covalent bond   show
🗑
ionic bond   show
🗑
ionic compound   show
🗑
show the process by which a gas, liquid, or solid is dispersed homogeneously in a gas, liquid, or solid without chemical change.  
🗑
reduction   show
🗑
heat   show
🗑
acid   show
🗑
neutral solution   show
🗑
organic compound   show
🗑
atomic number   show
🗑
show atomic mass unit - The approximate mass of a proton or neutron.  
🗑
electron shell   show
🗑
show A representation of the composition of a compound; the elements are indicated by chemical symbols with subscripts to indicate their ratios.  
🗑
formula   show
🗑
product   show
🗑
covalent bond   show
🗑
show Molecule that does not have a positively charged end and a negatively charged end; nonpolar molecules are generally insoluble in water.  
🗑
show A dissolved substance.  
🗑
hydrogen bond   show
🗑
hydrophilic   show
🗑
show The amount of heat energy that must be supplied to change one gram of a substance from the liquid phase to the vapor phase.  
🗑
show (1) A substance that is a hydrogen ion (proton) acceptor; bases unite with acids to form salts. (2) A nitrogenous base in a nucleotide or nucleic acid.  
🗑
acidic solution   show
🗑
show An alternative form of an element with a different number of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons.  
🗑
simplest formula   show
🗑
show A compound in which atoms are held together by covalent bonds; consist of molecules.  
🗑
polar molecule   show
🗑
show Process of association of a substance with the partial positive and/or negative charges of water molecules.  
🗑
show Not readily with water; having less affinity for water molecules than they have for each other.  
🗑
show The attraction that the molecules at the surface of a liquid may have for one another.  
🗑
salt   show
🗑
show A solution in which the concentration of hydroxide ions [OH-] exceeds the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+]. Has PH greater than 7.  
🗑
atom   show
🗑
show The arrangement of electrons around the atom.  
🗑
radioisotope   show
🗑
show Two or more elements combined in a fixed ratio.  
🗑
show The type of chemical formula that gives the actual numbers of each type of atom in a molecule.  
🗑
chemical bond   show
🗑
show A covalent bond in which one electron pair is shared by two atoms.  
🗑
covalent bond   show
🗑
ion   show
🗑
show Substance capable of dissolving other substances.  
🗑
show The loss of one or more electrons (or hydrogen atoms) by an atom, ion, or molecule.  
🗑
show The property of sticking together.  
🗑
show Energy of motion.  
🗑
show The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of water 1 degree C; equivalent to 4.184 joules.  
🗑
pH   show
🗑
show A substance in a solution that tends to lessen the change in hydrogen ion concentration (pH) that otherwise would be produced by adding an acid or base.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
